EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a relic box from Dorchester, Massachusetts, dating back to 1835. Crafted with exquisite detail using mahogany and birch wood, this artifact is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of its creator, John Clapp. The relic box holds within it an extraordinary piece of history - a slice of bread brought all the way from England in 1630. This humble loaf serves as a tangible connection to the early settlers who embarked on a perilous journey across the Atlantic Ocean in search of new beginnings. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining the arduous voyage that brought this precious relic to American shores. The intricate carvings on the box's surface hint at stories untold and secrets locked away. Donated by Anne Pierce Shaughnessy and now housed at Historic New England in Boston, Massachusetts, this relic box stands as a symbol of our shared heritage and collective memory. It reminds us of our ancestors' resilience and their enduring legacy that continues to shape our present. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are invited to contemplate not only the physical object before us but also its profound significance as an embodiment of history itself.
